Turks and Caicos Islands: 5 Day Forecast

Ahoy from Mudjin Harbour on Middle Caicos, Boaby Rock Point on Grand Turk, and Grace Bay on Providenciales. Today in Mudjin Harbour the sun rises at 06:34 AM and sets at 06:57 PM, with the moon dark at 0 percent lit. Early skies stay mostly clear, so stargazers may catch bright Venus low in the west just after sunset before she slips below the horizon.

Thursday brings warm tropical sailing weather across the islands, with temperatures mostly 81 to 85 F in Mudjin, 83 to 84 F in Grand Turk, and 83 to 85 F in Grace Bay. With humidity near 80 percent, it will feel like 87 to 102 in Mudjin, 93 to 96 in Grand Turk, and 90 to 98 in Grace Bay. Morning skies start mostly sunny to lightly clouded, then cloud cover builds fast after midday, especially in Mudjin and Grace Bay where afternoon and dinner hours turn mostly cloudy to overcast. Winds blow easterly all day, around 15 to 17 MPH in Mudjin, 18 to 21 MPH in Grand Turk, and 17 to 20 MPH in Grace Bay. Seas run 5 feet at Mudjin and Grand Turk and 4 feet at Grace Bay, so small craft will find Grace Bay the friendliest water today. Rain stays mostly in the light shower or sunshower category and much of it may not amount to much at the surface, though Mudjin shows the best chance for a few brief afternoon showers.

Friday stays plenty usable for boaters, beaches, and open air dining. Temperatures run about 83 to 87 F in Mudjin, 84 to 85 F in Grand Turk, and 84 to 85 F in Grace Bay. With humidity around 79 to 83 percent, it will feel like 92 to 103 in Mudjin, 93 to 97 in Grand Turk, and 94 to 96 in Grace Bay. Mudjin starts cloudier overnight, then brightens through late morning before clouds increase again late day. Grand Turk clears out after a cloudy start, then turns cloudier again by supper. Grace Bay follows a similar path and even drops from 4 foot seas to 3 feet by evening, making the later boating window a bit more comfortable there. Winds hold from the east to southeast around 14 to 15 MPH in Mudjin, 17 to 19 MPH in Grand Turk, and 17 to 19 MPH in Grace Bay. Seas stay 4 to 5 feet in Mudjin, 5 feet in Grand Turk, and 3 to 4 feet in Grace Bay. The standout difference tomorrow is Grand Turk, where the chop stays highest the longest.
